    Blood Glucose Monitoring w/o Dr.'s orders

    luvschoolnursing replied to kels764's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    kels- where are you from? I'm not familiar with the numbers you are using. 145 would be a fine number after eating and 88 would be bordering on too low (at least after a meal). Are you in the

    Sigma Theta Tau--worth it?

    luvschoolnursing replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    I chose not to join when invited. If I remember right it wasn't just a one time fee, it was yearly. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about that. For me, it didn't seem worth

    luvschoolnursing replied to nursekimba45's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I did when I had to write my own philosophy paper was visit different sites from nursing schools and see what their philosophy statement was. Didn't influence MY philosophy, but got my mind...

    Do you think most nurses can afford to work part time?

    luvschoolnursing replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

    I worked part time (VERY part time) while my kids were little. I am fortunate to have a usband who had health benefits. Often that is a big factor as to weather you can work part time or not. We lived...

    Can I put my hands in your hair?

    Not my hair, but I hated it when people felt it was OK to touch my belly when I was pregnant. Some things just shouldn't be touched without

    does anyone regret becoming a nurse?

    luvschoolnursing replied to CC999's topic in General Nursing

    I regretted it until I got away from bedside nursing. It got to the point where I hated every minute of it-not the patients, but the "stuff"-management, short staffing, no meals, breaks,

    Praying with your patient

    luvschoolnursing replied to MShell's topic in General Nursing

    luvschoolnursing replied to michigooseBSN's topic in School

    I suppose it is possible, but since several of us so far have said we have seen it in elementary schools, I would think it is more likely it is a student. If it were a staff member, I think it would...
